Dazzlin' Diva LLC was developed because Tamiko Evans was determined to make good of her blessings in life. She was tireless in her quest to offer something outstanding for women. Her belief is that Dazzlin' Diva did not begin with her but was born as a result of the beautiful, educated and inspirational women in her lineage – all Dazzlin' Diva's in their own right. The spirit of Dazzlin' Diva is more than just being a Diva; it is a lifestyle for all women to feed their internal soul as well as their external spirit. With that notion she developed DazzlinDiva.com an on-line community for women that empowers, educates and entertains the mind, body and soul. With over 2,700 members DazzlinDiva.com connects with women residing in the United States, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom and the West Indies.

Through the Dazzlin’ Diva - Dare to Dazzle; Dare to Shine TM networking events for women Tamiko realized that there was an unfulfilled need in the community to provide girls with access to information, education and empowerment. To further her mission of giving back coupled with challenges faced during her own adolescence she established a 501 (c) 3 organization, Positively Empowering Teen Girls About Life, Inc. – P.E.T.A.L. for teen girls under Dazzlin’ Diva LLC.

Since 2007 P.E.T.A.L., Inc. has touched the lives of thousands of teen girls in the tri-state area through the production of their signature branded events – the Call to Action Conference, What Our Girls Need to Know Empowerment Forums, Healthy Girls and Beauty Too Expo and their on-line resources.

As a seasoned business professional with over 10+ years consulting, operations and corporate branding experience she is consistently recognized for her sharp business acumen and value-added approach. Some of the clients that she has worked with include, PepsiCo, Capitol One Bank and Pfizer to name a few. Also having worked at the American Lung Association as a Meetings & Conference professional her team developed international symposium and conferences for +10k attendees. To add to her resume of professional accomplishments she was also a key member of the development team for one of New York City’s largest annual festivals – Harlem Week which attracts tens of thousands of visitors from around the world. While at Harlem Week her catalog of event productions included: the Youth Expo & Career Fair at City College, Uptown Saturday Night at the Apollo, Grant Tomb Fashion Shows and Harlem Day.

Educationally, Tamiko has earned her Bachelor’s degree in Economics at SUNY- College at Old Westbury and her Masters in Instructional Technology at the University at Albany. Her love of technology led her to complete the Continuing Education Program at New York University in Intensive Multimedia Development and Production.

As anyone can read on paper Tamiko Evans is a dynamo of talents and accomplishments but to meet her is to truly know her. She is a sought after speaker and panelist for organizations and educational institutions that have included; Dress for Success, Women-in-Need, the National Coalition of Hebrew Women and CUNY – City College of New York. She is currently working on several projects for both Dazzlin’ Diva and P.E.T.A.L., Inc. to continue empowering the lives of girls and women around the world.
